comparative Endurance Of Men.

In a group of old soldiers at an up town
hotel the other night the talk drifted into
discussion of the enduring powers of
men, when the highest tribute was paid
by all of them to the staying" qualities
of the clerks and "town boys" who be-
came enlisted soldiers during the war of
the rebellion. An old officer said: "The
men who came from the farms, who had
been accustomed to three regular meals
every day from table stacked high with
food, and to ten solid hours of sleep after
q hard days work in the field, broke
down quickly under the comparative idle
ness Of army existence and the irregu-
larity with which they secured their
meals. 1t was too great change in
their habits ani m0a.o Of living. The
boys from the cities and towns, who had
been accustomed to roaming around
without any particular or fixed hour for
eating, who We're accustomed to being out
at all times of night, and the pale faced
clerks who had been standing behind
counters from daybreak to dusk, were
the ones who could endure the greatest
privations with the least discomfort.
They could march all day on crackers
and coffee and fight all day on tight
ened waistband."
John E. Burton, of Wisconsin, who is
one Of the heavy investors in the iron de.
velopments in his state and was formerly
in the life insurance business, indorsed
this view and then added from his life in
surance experience this bit of informa-
ton: "There is rule for estimating the
comparative endurance of men that is
as certain as in the height, weight and
build of horses. The perfectly healthy
and active man, who is in perfect physi-
cal condition, should weigh two and
quarter pounds for every inch of his
height. That rule will test man 90
times in every 100. New York Tribune.

CREOLE HOME LIFE.
Their Horror of Pubiicity-An Iilustra-
tion OF Prejudice-~A New Era.

Their Horror of PubIicity-An Ii1ustra-
tlon OF Prejudce-~4i New Era.
The creole woman's work was always
done at home. The old creoles, who
"never forgive public mention, =" shrank
with horror from publicity for their wc-
men. The example of free and easy
going young L'Amercaine was held up
Us one to be Stunned. Gradually, almost
imperceptibly, the new current sweeping
through woman's kingdom found en-
trance through the barriers thrown up by
creole pride and prejudice. So wide has
this current now grown and so resistless
that to-day creole women are found in
every avenue of public employment. Five
years ago the creole girl who stood behind
a counter was heroine, Drawing family
and social scorn, but making the step
easier for those of her sisters who had
longed to work but had laled the courage
to act according to their convictions.
Perhaps no more striking illustration
of the pr udice of the creole could be
given than the following authentic one
of an old gentleman of New Orleans,
dead only a few years. OF gentle blood
and college bred, he clung to his falbourg

ter was good; why should he live else
where? and his scorn of the new town
being built by the impertinent, intrusive,
all conquering American was intense. AT
that time-somewhere in the thirties-
the creoles did not attempt to conceal
their dislike for the Americans, who wers
changing the business methods and up
setting the traditions of the city. Nor
were the Americans slow to express their
contempt for the creoles. This choleric
creole, as he sat with his boon companion
i'll Cafe des Exils, and read in L'Abeille of
the daily revolutionary acts of the new
comers, was deeply angered. Though
impotent to prevent, he could at least
show his disapproval of the upstarts. He
vowed he would never cross Canal street
(the thoroughfare separating the old town
from the new) and he never did, but
was gathered to his fathers triumphant
in having vindicated faith by works. I
knew dear old lady who likewise had
never crossed the line. No rancor
lurkod in her sweet soul; simply lack of
curiosity held her aloof; her entire FAM
Iy lived in the French quarter, and there
all her interests were concentrated.
Remains of this curious antagonism
are now rare. The kindly spirit of the
new era las broken down most of the
old barriers, and each race is willing to
accord merit to the other, and approxi-
mate more closely with every succeeding
year.--llarDcr's EaZar,

caribordrs Old Home Mt caprera.

The yet unpublished story of Garibaldi's
life as told by himself, says writer who
has seen the manuscript, is "a simple
record of facts, having nothing in COM
mon with the generals crude attempts at
novel writing OF his declamations against
priests and tyrants." The same writer
says that "Garibaldi's bedroom in his lit
tie house at Caprera is left just as when
he died, only his sword of 1860 hangs
over it, while in what was once the
dining room are carefully preserved all
the commemorative offerings brought or
sent during the last five years-a very
hecatomb of crowns and garlands,
wreaths or fresh flowers, bronze shields,
curiously carved medallions, portraits of
fallen braves, inscriptions innumerable.

Crabs and Their Ways.

Crabs have their tastes like people, and
many times have seen crab tell an
other crab what to do. When the water
is smooth and green and the day over
flowing with sunshine, then is the time
watch the little creatures. l pull them
up in my ret and wait to see what they
will do. Sometimes l haul up half u
dozen of different sizes, and they act Just
like people; they are greedy and selfish.
The big sea crabs give the little crabs a
sound trouncing for being in the way.
and then tho big crabs claw at each
other around the meat They act so
human like that / am much amused.
Crabs, sir, are divided into many fam
lilies. There is the blue claw family,
the strealied back family, the brown
back family and the green back family.
lou do not often see those of the streaked
back family tribe in Galveston waters,
but many are caught around Padre
Island down the coast. speak only of
crabs to hc found in the gulf and the bay.
AS for other crabs, they abound in many
waters. have seen men catch many
crabs as large as an ostrich. All! you
smile, but | speak in truth. On the
Japan coast the crabs look like huge
BIRDS running over the sand. They come
up on the sand dunes just like turtles,
and run away with the speed of the
WIND when any one approaches them.
How they fight! lEieir bodies are small,
but their legs are long and tough, and
u caught they catch you with their legs
like graphing iron. They have vicious
little green eyes, and they look at you
like serpent. When Off the japanese
coast one time we all put to shore and
made great chase after the big crabs
The only way we could catch 'em was to
break their legs by sweeping them with
h'g stick or cutlass, and even then they'd
show fight. News.

there is always gathering of wheelmen

Gou can pick out bicycler-a ''biker,"

His body doesn't count for much, SO that
above the waist he usually presents what
has got to be known as the cigarette
physique, and which consists in more
bones than meat or muscle. But his
calves and thighs are as tough as the
rubber tires of his machine, and when he
gets them in kniclierbockers and long
stockings he would not change with a
king on his throne. A friend of mine, who
can do anything with bicycle except
ride it up perpendicular ladder, has
eschewed the ordinary "bags'' of dude

Tho Cars Passport system.

The czar has recently issued decree
which has increased the rigor of the pass
port system in his vast dominions, and
has made it harder than ever for foreign
ers to travel in Russia, and for Russians
to go abroad, OF even to move about from
place to place in their own country. By
this decree foreigners entering Russia
have to pay larger fees than before, a
fresh fee being required at every new
sojourning place. But it bears with
greater hardship upon those Russians, or
foreign residents, who desire to travel
beyond the Russian frontier. Every one
thus wishing to leave Russia, temporar-
lily, must pay S15 for his passport in the
first place; and he cannot go q step
without it. The passport, moreover, is
limited to a fixed period of few weeks;
and if its holder remains away from
home beyond that period, he must pay a
certain sum to the Russian officials for
every additional day of absence, amount
ing to about seventy-five cents. Such q
tax is easily borne by the rich Russian
landowner, who wishes to visit Berlin or
Paris, but it is grievous burden upon
the clerks and commercial travellers,
whose business compels them to travel to
and fro at greater or less intervals. s.-The
